hey what's going on guys so you have a
Google chromecast third generation here
and you want to know how to do a factory
reset very very easy to do now you may
want to do a factory reset if maybe
you're having issues and you want a
clean slate start everything back over
or maybe you're selling it anyways if
you look on the chromecast itself it has
one button right here you can see that
button right there every time you click
it the light on here is gonna change
from white to orange now what you need
to do is press and hold this down for 10
seconds so when you press and hold this
down the light is going to turn orange
and you have to keep holding it down for
about 10 seconds until it turns orange
and you can go ahead and let go now the
thing is you have to keep it like
plugged in just to give it power you
don't actually have to have it plugged
into the HDMI into your TV however it
doesn't matter but if you do have it
plugged in then it'll show you the
process of what it's doing on the TV as
well so I'll just go ahead and plug this
into the TV I'm gonna do a factory reset
on this ok so you can see the chromecast
here and you can see the white blinking
light here I'm gonna go ahead and press
and hold the button down for about 10
seconds ok ready 1 2 3 minute press and
hold and you can see it's blinking
orange wait so it turns back white and
then we can go ahead and let go okay now
I can go ahead and let go and let it go
through the factory reset process now
and you can see it's going to blink
white and it's going to turn orange stay
on orange and it's gonna blink on orange
it's gonna go back on white and it's
gonna blink on white it the whole
process takes about 1 minute so I'm just
going to hold this here and that you
watch the whole entire process on the TV
and like I said you don't have to have
it actually plugged into the TV just as
long as it has power ok the Google
chromecast has power so just wait

there you go when it's done is basically
going to start blinking like white so
give it a second here and we'll get back
to that beginning screen as if you just
purchase it brand-new so pretty simple
to do hope that helped you guys out
thanks for watching and I'll see you in
the next one
